Double Closing in Detroit: what to expect
A double closing in Detroit is two separate closings on the same property, often on the same day: the wholesaler buys from the seller, then sells to the end buyer. Unlike an assignment contract, the wholesaler actually takes title for a short time, and each side sees its own settlement statement.
Wholesalers use double closings when the purchase agreement cannot be assigned, when a bank or estate sale requires the buyer on the contract to close, or when they prefer not to show their fee. The front half needs funding, either the wholesaler's own cash or short term transactional funding. Some title companies and lenders have their own policies on back-to-back sales, so the title company should be chosen early.
Compare Metro Detroit wholesalers or talk to a title company about how they handle simultaneous closings.
What a good engagement includes
- Two purchase agreements: seller to wholesaler, wholesaler to end buyer
- One title company coordinating both closings
- Funding source for the first closing identified in writing
- Two deeds recorded with the county Register of Deeds in order
- Separate settlement statements for each transaction
- Property Transfer Affidavit filed after each transfer
What drives the fee
- Two sets of closing costs, title fees and recording fees
- Transfer taxes on each transfer
- Transactional funding fees if the wholesaler borrows for the first closing
- Title insurance on one or both transactions
- The spread between the two contract prices
- Delays if the end buyer is not ready to close
Rebuild Detroit does not publish fees. Ask each attorney to explain the fee basis in writing and compare.
Licensing and legal checks in Michigan
Michigan has no separate wholesaler license, but the Occupational Code defines a real estate broker broadly (MCL 339.2501): anyone who, for a fee, sells or offers to sell real estate or negotiates a sale for others. Selling your interest in a purchase contract is generally treated differently than marketing a house you do not own, but where that line falls depends on the facts. Ask whether the wholesaler holds a license through the State License Search, and have a real estate attorney review your contract.
Each deed is recorded with the county Register of Deeds, and the new owner files a Property Transfer Affidavit with the local assessor within 45 days of each transfer.
